           [left]Hi gang! Finally that challenge has start! My First ever challenge in 3D.
           
           I love pixar movies like you. I choose Russell character for many reasons:

[ul]
[li]Funny character in spirit[/li][li]Lot of different items to model[/li][li]Lot of different shaders and fabrics on it[/li][/ul]I hope to do my best with Russell. Keep his spirit! I will start today as my offday. I had take one week (the HMC 30 extension) to gather all the items references.

    I will use Softimage, Zbrush and Photoshop

#10

Looking closer on his gear, I see many of those snap hook on Russell

#11

Very clean and fast work here so far!:thumbsup:
Great character choice too!

What are you rendering this with? MR? If yes, you might want to consider giving 3Delight a shot instead. It’s free and may give you a the right Renderman-ish feel for this challenge. :wink:

Cheers!

Ya mentalray! but ya I would try your renderer because Softimage don’t work with renderman and because it’s a Pixar Tribute… Why not use there renderer!

#13

To clear things up for you, since I am getting the feeling you did not fully understand my suggestion. 3Delight is a Renderman-compliant renderer, creating a similar look as Pixar’s very on Renderman, which indeed is not available for Softimage. But… luckily 3Delight is filling that gap and available for free download as a 2-thread version from dna-research here. I havent tried it in Softimage 2012 yet, but was told by support that the 2011.5 plugin works fine for 2012.

Cheers!

#14

Oh ok, I tought you talking about a standalone software

#15

I begin to think I’m going too deep in modeling for a pixar stylized look. So I will slow down. The items are so far of the camera (but i love details)

#16

Some artefacts in the anisotropy that I will correct later.

#17

You’re fast, I love what you’ve modelled so far, keep up the good work.:thumbsup:
